I’ve been in love with people who’ve had excerpts from Lord Jim scrolling up their arms, and Faunia Farley tattooed on their chest with an arrow going through a heart. It’s like you can’t escape these literary tattoos. But it makes sense; if the books are already living inside of you, why not let them show a little bit, through the skin?
The Millions posted a link about a call for an anthology of literary tattoos. Remember when Shelley Jackson got people from all over to agree to tattoo a word of her story on their body. Look here. Also, a more in depth exploration of the literary tattoo and Jackson’s project here.
